Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below We decided to give it a try with the weather being questionable to make the 50 mile run but Freddie said if we don’t take our friends from Maine Tuesday there not getting out so off we went left Bonnie’s house at 6:30 when we got to # 4 marker we were in solid fog but the seas were ok we ran about 20 miles and it finally lifted the rest of the way so we could run when we got to the spot we were catching right away but lots of throwback 19 inch fish , we finally started picking up a keeper here and there at noon we had 5 keepers, but two we had our limit of ten with a few lanes and vermillion mixed in one nice mangrove and one small ars that was returned safely also a keeper octopus. The biggest red groupers were 28 and 26 inch the rest were between 21 and 23 inch it was a fun day and our friends really appreciate the trip.Bonnie’s margaritas when we got in another great day.Thanks Bonnie and Freddie

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. I have been trying to get out on this charter with Capt. Carlos since the end of Nov.  This time though I had some fellow club members, Dave Taylor and Terry Freeman.  It was a great day weather and windwise.  Capt Carlos ran us out to 116ft of water and proceeded to work 8 or 9 numbers.  We caught a multitude of 19 inch red grouper, next years crop looks good, but only two keepers.  I caught this 33″ Red Grouper on the first drop, now that is luck.  We also caught a bunch of Lane and Vermillon snapper.  It ended up being a very long day with 2 hours travel each way.  A good time was had by all and we are looking forward to another outing later this year.
